kind of wild to think, the largest N64 games were 64 MB

All of Ocarina of Time? fits in a 32 megabyte cart

Resident Evil 2? less than 64 megabytes

Super Mario 64 was on an 8 megabyte cartridge

it's wild to think of how small these games are and how large they would be if made today

@Felthry I think the max texture size on the N64 helped a lot

you just can't put a lot of textures in your game

@noiob Oh absolutely, you compare it to PS1 games and the biggest difference is textures and sound; that's where all that massive 650 megabyte CD space went to
